YOGYAKARTA - Basically everyone has lymphocytes, which are white blood cells that also play a role in fighting bacterial or viral infections. However, in some cases there are medical conditions that make lymphocyte levels high. If you experience this, you need to know that high lymphocytes mean that the immune system is experiencing a problem. To understand more information, see the following article.
In his article published in the Journal of Insological Science and Technology (2022), Ai Kurniawati explained that lymphocytes have an important role in the body's immune system. This can happen because lymphocytes affect immune responses such as infectious microorganisms or other foreign objects.
In the Relationship of Lymphocyte and Monocyte Levels with Severity in Patients with Extra Pulmonary Tuberculosis written by Raihanah Nabilah (Journal of Medical and Health Sciences: 2020) explains that lymphocytes are divided into two, namely B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes.
B lymphocytes produce antibodies that are responsible for humoral or antibody-mediated immunity. T lymphocytes do not produce antibodies. These cells destroy their specific target cells with various chemicals (cellular immunity).
Quoted from the Mayo Clinic, the normal lymphocyte level of an adult is 3,000 per microliter of blood. Meanwhile, the number in children is also different, but generally as much as 9,000 per microliter of blood.
High levels of lymphocytes or commonly called lymphocytosis generally indicate a problem with the immune system. This condition is commonly found in cancer patients or patients with chronic infections. For this reason, doctors need to do several tests and observations to find out what triggers the increase in lymphocytes.

Reported from the Cleveland Clinic, the condition of lymphocytosis is commonly found in people who experience several conditions, namely as follows.
High levels of lymphocytes in the blood usually indicate that the body is experiencing an infection. Or it could also be that the body is experiencing a disease. If the lymphocyte surge occurs, it means that white blood cells are cleaning the body of the infection that triggers the disease. Here are some causes of high lymphocytes from the Cleveland Clinic.
